How it works

In each Animate: Faith session, the group will watch a video featuring a leading voice from the Christian faith, spend time on personal reflection and journaling, and share ideas with the group.
The order of each session is up to you and what works best for your group.
Session resources are available as a complete curriculum or a la carte.
